Introduction
So, you’ve decided to organize a new Toastmasters club. What now? This guide gives you the information and resources you need.
Did you know that more than 1,000 new Toastmasters clubs are started every year? Your efforts
contribute to helping hundreds of thousands of people around the world become more powerful
communicators and leaders!
First Steps
Toastmasters clubs are formed every day in a variety of settings. They meet onsite at corporations,
churches, community centers – even in restaurants.
Community clubs: Open to anyone
Company clubs: Open to employees of an organization (often called “closed”)
In either type of club, membership cannot be restricted according to age (except those persons under
18), race, creed, gender, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, marital or veteran status, or
physical or mental disability, so long as the individual is able to participate in the program.
New clubs must charter with a minimum of 20 members. Only three of the first 20 may be dual
members (members of another club). Once you’ve decided the type of club you want to form, seek
help from other people. Local Toastmasters representatives should be willing to help you or you may
contact the New Clubs team at Toastmasters International World Headquarters. They can work with
you to assemble a team of people who will provide help and support for the club for up to one year.
The team includes:
Club sponsor
Each new club may have up to two sponsors. Sponsors are responsible for:
Marketing the new club idea to prospective members
Helping with meetings
Assisting with forms
Planning the charter presentation
Club mentor
Each new club may have up to two mentors appointed by the district governor.
Mentors should:
Provide guidance during the first six months to one year of its existence
Be experienced Toastmasters who may join the new club

How to Build a Toastmasters Club
Sponsoring club
Sometimes, the members of a club may help to start a new club. They may:
Present the demonstration meeting
Offer encouragement and advice
Attend the new club’s charter presentation
Earn the “Founder’s Award” club banner ribbon
Forming a Community Club
If you are starting a community club and your support team is in place, you are ready to begin!
1. Plan a demonstration meeting, which shows:
The benefits of Toastmasters
How a club meeting is conducted
Information about demonstration meetings is on page 8. Schedule the meeting two to four weeks in
advance to allow plenty of time to publicize and promote. Purchase promotion materials via the
online store: www.toastmasters.org/shop.
2. Publicize the demonstration meeting:
Send personal invitations to colleagues and friends
Submit announcements to local newspapers
Post notices on community Web sites and bulletin boards
Invite others, such as employees of local businesses, church groups, military personnel, etc.
Forming a Corporate Club
The key to success in starting a corporate club is to gain the support of a decision maker within the
organization, who can authorize the club formation.
1. Schedule an appointment with the human resources director or other high-level executive.
2. Prepare for the meeting. Be able to discuss the value of Toastmasters training.
3. Ask for the company’s support in forming the new club. Determine what portion of the club costs
the company will pay, if any. Companies show their support for Toastmasters in many ways. Often,
the company pays the charter fee and new member fees, while members may pay their own dues.
Some companies pay for the banner and other club materials.
4. Arrange a time and place to conduct a demonstration meeting.
5. Plan a demonstration meeting, which shows:
The benefits of Toastmasters
How a club meeting is conducted
Information about demonstration meetings is on page 8. Schedule the meeting two to four weeks in
advance to allow plenty of time to publicize and promote. Purchase promotional materials via the
online store: www.toastmasters.org/shop.

6. Publicize the demonstration meeting:
Post notices on company intranet and bulletin boards
Invite all employees and extend a special invitation to company officials
Include fliers or brochures in employee’s pay envelopes
Forming an Advanced Club
Occasionally, a group wants to charter a special club to focus on developing advanced skills.
In advanced clubs, members:
Hear advanced-level presenters
Receive evaluations and feedback from experienced members
Advanced clubs must have a minimum of 20 members. Some advanced clubs require membership
in another club (dual membership). Most require members to have received the Competent
Communicator (CC) or the Advanced Communicator Bronze (ACB) award. Advanced clubs follow
the same charter process as other clubs. New member kits are not sent for an advanced club unless
you request them.
If the advanced club chooses to:
Require dual membership, only three of the first 20 may be transfer members.
Not require dual membership, only three of the first 20 may be dual members.
Splitting a Club
Toastmasters International recommends that a club have 20 to 30 members. Clubs with more than
40 members may benefit from splitting into two clubs. When you submit the charter paperwork and
payment, include a letter stating the club is splitting. New member kits are not sent unless requested.
Transferring members do not pay membership dues or new member fees as long as their dues are
current in the club from which they are transferring. Each club must have a minimum of 20 members
after splitting. All members of the new club may be transfer members. Before a club may split, members of the existing club must agree to it. Be sure that experienced, active members are evenly divided
into both clubs.
New Club Finances
Begin to collect payment for dues and fees during or soon after the club’s first meeting. In many
countries (including the United States) a club must register as a not-for-profit association before a
bank account may be opened. More financial information may be found at
www.toastmasters.org/FinancialResources.
If a club has collected payments, but does not have a bank account of its own, it may designate a club
officer to:
Hold the payments until the club has opened an account
Hold the payments until they are sent to Toastmasters International
Deposit the payments into another club’s account temporarily
6
How to Build a Toastmasters Club
United States tax law requires that all U.S. clubs have an Employer Identification Number (EIN).
World Headquarters will apply for an EIN on behalf of the club when the chartering process is complete. The number will be maintained in the club’s permanent records. With the EIN, the club will be
able to open its own bank account. An EIN is simply a type of tax identification number and does not
imply that a club would ever or could ever have employees. Each year, World Headquarters submits a
summary of all U.S. clubs and their EINs to the IRS.

Demonstration Meeting
A demonstration meeting is your opportunity to show prospective members how a Toastmasters
club meeting is conducted and what the Toastmasters program can do for them. An agenda for a
demonstration meeting appears on page 9. A typical demonstration meeting requires eight or more
experienced Toastmasters, each of whom assumes a meeting role, such as:
Toastmaster
Timer
Ah-counter/grammarian
General evaluator
Speaker
Evaluator
Topicsmaster
Ideas to help you:
Keep the meeting short. Your goal is to pique interest. Do not go overtime!
Select a demonstration team that mirrors the audience’s demographics.
At a minimum include a short Table Topics session, a prepared speech and an evaluation.
Select a relatively inexperienced speaker who will be less likely to intimidate the prospective
members and will show them that Toastmasters offers something for everyone. A second speaker
may be more advanced, showing a higher skill level.
Invite representatives of the sponsoring organization (if any). Their presence will confirm the
meeting’s importance to the organization.
After the demonstration portion of the program:
Conduct a brief question-and-answer session.
Ask members to share Toastmasters success stories.
Introduce the representatives of the sponsoring organization (if any).
Introduce the sponsor(s) and mentor(s), emphasizing that when the club is chartered the
mentor(s) will help the club through its first six months to one year.
Explain charter fees, membership and supplementary club dues and other potential costs, such
as club banner, membership pins and other administrative supplies the club will need.
Conclude the demonstration meeting:
Announce the date, time and place of the next meeting.
Collect the completed application forms and payment from those who have decided to join.
Obtain enough money to pay the charter fee.
Fees to consider:
• $125: One-time charter fee
• $20: New-member fee per person
• $27: Six months' membership dues per person
• Each group may charge supplementary club dues to help cover other expenses, if needed
Please note: All payments must be in U.S. dollars

Follow Up
Often, prospective clubs meet several times before they can complete the charter requirements. Your
goal is to keep everyone enthusiastic and charter the new club as quickly as possible. To help you plan
for each pre-charter club meeting, use the weekly meeting outlines at
www.toastmasters.org/newclubs.
Remember to:
Send a thank you and meeting reminder notice to all attendees
Follow up with a phone call several days before the next meeting
Communicate with temporary officers and scheduled meeting participants to confirm duties for
the next meeting
Alternative Demonstrations
Although most demonstration meetings are conducted by eight or more Toastmasters, it is possible
to do it with fewer – even with one! You will be the Toastmaster and select prospective members to fill
the meeting roles, then guide the group through a typical Toastmasters meeting.
Sometimes resources are limited and a typical demonstration meeting is not possible. You may want
to show the Welcome to Toastmasters! DVD (Item 244DVD), which includes real testimonials and a
15-minute Toastmasters meeting in action.
Charter Presentation
This marks the debut of the new Toastmasters club! It is an excellent opportunity to recognize those
who helped form the club and to generate publicity. The club is officially chartered when World
Headquarters has received and processed all documents and payments. Allow four to six weeks (six
to eight weeks outside the U.S. and Canada) for the district governor (or club president if the club is
undistricted) to receive the club charter and charter member certificates. Consider this time as you
select a date for the charter presentation.
Extend invitations to:
Members of the sponsoring club
Friends and family of the new members
Members of nearby Toastmasters clubs
Local community or business leaders
District governor or other district officers
At the charter presentation, you will conduct a brief Toastmasters meeting. Toward the end of the
program, you will introduce the district governor or other district officer, who will deliver a brief
speech explaining the purpose of Toastmasters, then make the formal charter presentation. To
conclude the meeting, you may read the letter sent to the club from Toastmasters International,
welcoming them to Toastmasters.

How to Build a Toastmasters Club
Standards for a Successful Club
Toastmasters clubs provide a positive learning environment. When members actively participate, they
learn to become better communicators and leaders and the club fulfills its purpose. All clubs must:
Meet at least 12 times per year (weekly meetings are recommended)
Hold regular meetings conducted in person
Have members give oral speeches and give and receive oral evaluations
Give members the opportunity to develop and practice leadership skills
Your new club will be successful when it:
Meets every week
Meets continuously throughout the year
Participates in area, division and district functions
First impressions:
Sergeant at arms sets up the room in advance
Meeting location is pleasant and comfortable
Greet guests warmly and introduce guests to others
Ask guests to fill out guest information form or guest book
Introduce and welcome guests during the meeting
Members enthusiastically participate and fill in for members who are unable to attend
Program planning and meeting organization:
Members carry out all assignments to the best of their ability
Speeches from the Competent Communication and Advanced Communication manuals are
required
Each member receives a meeting agenda
Members with meeting roles explain their duties to the group
The program is pre-planned and participants are informed at least a week in advance of their
responsibilities
Topicsmaster prepares thought-provoking Table Topics
Meeting starts and ends on time
Guests are invited to become members when they visit
The club operates from a six-month educational plan based on the educational and social needs
of the membership
Evaluations are based on project objectives and the individual learning needs of the member

Charter Forms Checklist
The official charter date is when all charter forms and payments are received by Toastmasters
International World Headquarters.
Electronic forms are found at www.toastmasters.org/newclubs.
Complete and submit the following forms and payment:
Form 1
Application to Organize a Toastmasters Club form
Form 2
Charter Payments:
$125: charter fee with the Application to Organize (if not previously sent)
$20: new-member fee per person
$27: six months' membership dues per person ($21 for undistricted clubs)
Form 3
Toastmasters Charter Membership Application (one required per member)
Form 4
Charter Club Officer Information form
Form 5
Club Information form
Form 6
Toastmasters Club Constitution and Bylaws with certificate of club adoption and
certificate of secretary
Upon receipt of completed forms and payment, Toastmasters International will send a charter kit,
which includes club administrative materials and 20 new member kits. The charter kit is sent via
surface mail unless you request a faster method and pay for it in advance. Once the charter forms are
submitted, no changes may be made to the charter membership list.
Clubs chartering in September or March (the last months of the dues renewals periods) may wish to
submit membership dues amounting to $31.50 per person. The extra $4.50 per person will be used to
pay the prorated renewal dues. By doing this, your club will not have to collect dues from each member twice in two months. For clubs not assigned to districts, the amount would be $24.50. The extra
$3.50 per person will be used to pay the prorated renewal dues.
Please note: All payments must be in U.S. dollars

club, I agree to abide by the principles contained in “A Toastmaster’s Promise” and the governing documents and policies of
Toastmasters International and my club. I will refrain from any form of discrimination, harassment, derogatory, illegal, or
unethical conduct, and I understand that if I engage in such conduct, I may be responsible to reimburse Toastmasters
